Yes, I am playing more and more with photographic techniques, represented in my art. I think it cool.

I removed the text; Stephen suggested it was superfluous and detracted from the image, I agreed.

The... virility... of the towers of the far future of Tryslmaistan is due to the physics there. Building vertically weighs less, and is more stable, than building horizontally; the tower is the ideal shape for any structure in this cosmos. Thus five kilometer high breadstick towers make more sense than wide sprawling constructions. Why domes as the tip? Shrinking cross-section combined with the intrinsic strength of the dome shape. It only makes sense.

The ideal building in Tryslmaistan is a big dildo. Can't be helped. I didn't set out for this to be so, but... that's how it turned out.

Sometimes that is the price of following basic assumptions to logical conclusions. Dildo towers.

Plus, Trys has no wind to knock them over.

Plus, smoothly-curving dome-shapes appear to be a Jellese stylistic tendency.

Considering what has been said of the Krawlini I can almost imagine all movers through design having a remote probe that is launched just to show the potential last moments of the escape boat to the riders.
